THE ASEITY OF GOD

Aseity is a small but seldom used word and it means “the quality or state of being self-derived or self originated; the self sufficiency, independence and autonomy of God; a being who exists of himself and from himself and owes its existence to no one.” Of all the attributes of God this one is perhaps the most difficult to come to understand.

Children will ask their parents, who made God?”

The correct answer is “nobody” made God. Unlike us, God is self existent. He has no beginning and no end. He is not dependent upon anyone for anything.

Can you wrap your mind around that truth? God has just always been. Father, Son and Holy Spirit dwelling in total and complete existence and sufficiency. Dependent upon no one or no thing! That is why He is God!

Charles Spurgeon had this to say:

“There is something exceedingly improving to the mind in a contemplation of the Divinity. It is a subject so vast, that all our thoughts are lost in its immensity; so deep, that our pride is drowned in its infinity. Other subjects we can compass and grapple with; in them we feel a kind of self-content, and go our way with the thought, “Behold I am wise.” But when we come to this master-science, finding that our plumb-line cannot sound its depth, and that our eagle eye cannot see its height, we turn away . . . with the solemn exclamation, “I am but of yesterday, and know nothing.” 

Read Psalm 90:14; Romans 11:33-36; Revelation 4:8
